Welcome to NassifMD Medical Spa UK, where we offer a range of cutting-edge treatments to help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals. One of our most sought-after services is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. In this section, we will provide you with a comprehensive overview of PRP, including its history, applications in medical aesthetics, and the numerous benefits it offers for both men and women.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)? Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is an innovative medical procedure that utilizes the natural healing properties of your own blood to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin, hair, and other areas of concern. PRP is derived from your blood through a simple and safe process, where a small sample is drawn and then processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors.

A Brief History of PRP Initially developed in the 1970s, PRP therapy has gained significant recognition and popularity in recent years for its remarkable regenerative capabilities. Originally used in orthopedics and sports medicine to promote tissue healing and repair, PRP soon found its way into the realm of medical aesthetics due to its impressive results in rejuvenating the skin and promoting hair growth.

PRP in Medical Aesthetics At our medical spa, PRP is a powerful tool in our arsenal for addressing a wide range of concerns related to aging, hair loss, scarring, and hormonal changes. With its ability to stimulate collagen production, increase blood flow, and accelerate tissue repair, PRP therapy offers a natural and effective approach to achieving youthful and radiant skin and promoting hair growth.

Benefits of PRP Treatment

Hair Thinning and Hair Loss: PRP is a game-changer for individuals experiencing hair thinning, androgenic alopecia, or hereditary hair loss. By injecting PRP into the scalp, we can stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and restoring fullness to thinning areas.
Anti-Aging: PRP is an excellent option for individuals seeking a more youthful appearance. By targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and areas of volume loss, PRP stimulates collagen production and enhances skin elasticity, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated skin.
Scar Treatment: Whether you have acne scars, surgical scars, or other types of scarring, PRP can help diminish their appearance. The growth factors present in PRP encourage tissue regeneration and remodeling, leading to the reduction of scar visibility.
Peri-Menopause and Menopause Hair Loss: Many women experience hair loss or thinning during peri-menopause and menopause due to hormonal changes. PRP can help combat this by rejuvenating hair follicles, promoting hair growth, and improving the overall quality and thickness of the hair.

Treatment Sessions and Procedure The number of PRP sessions required can vary depending on the specific concern being addressed. In general, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. During each session, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors. Finally, the PRP solution is carefully injected into the targeted area, such as the scalp or facial skin, using fine needles or a micro-needling technique.

Duration and Recovery One of the many advantages of PRP therapy is its minimal downtime. Following the treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection site, which typically subsides within a day or two. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure, making PRP an ideal choice for those with busy lifestyles.

Longevity of Results The duration of PRP results can vary depending on individual factors and the specific concern being addressed. Generally, the benefits of PRP are long-lasting, with results typically visible within a few weeks to months after treatment. To maintain and optimize your results, we recommend periodic maintenance treatments as advised by our experienced medical professionals.

FAQs

What is the process?

The doctor will take a sample of blood. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge for a few minutes and spun at high speed to isolate platelets and other healing growth factors and then resuspended into a platelet-rich solution. This provides us with 6mls of plasma to inject into you. The plasma and serum are extracted and then re-injected back into the patients skin. The whole procedure only involves needle injections to the desired areas, requires virtually no healing time and also reduces possible side effects to a minimum.

Does it hurt?

There is some minor discomfort and a tingling sensation may be felt but the treatment is done with a very fine needle to minimise any pain.

What are the side effects?

Plasma injections are autologous, meaning it has come from you, so side effects are very mild because it is unlikely that the body will have an adverse reaction to its own materials. At most, you may expect to experience mild to moderate swelling and/or redness in the area of treatment, which are common side effects.
In addition, because a volume of fluid is administered to the area, some mild swelling can occur and may take a few days to disappear.

How long after treatment before I see a change?

Patients will usually feel the immediate effects of treatment after it is performed and during the next few weeks the collagen will begin to grow and generate more and more healthy cells underneath the skin. That is when the optimum results of the procedure are felt.

Does the procedure need to be repeated?

Yes, a course of 3, 4 weeks apart, is required Depending on the area treated, repeat treatments may be necessary to continue the desired effects. Facial rejuvenation procedures may require 1-3 treatments yearly, depending on the treatment. Hair loss may require more than 3 sessions.

It is suitable for patients who prefer a more natural approach to aesthetic treatments. It is also ideal for patients who are not candidates for dermal filler. It is very popular for treating the eye area, in both female and male patients, and offers a wonderful alternative solution to traditional aesthetic injectables.

It is a fantastic treatment for hair thinning and a wonderful way to thicken hair from the effects of peri menopause and menopause.
